Yale Class of 2018 RD Discussion Thread

<p>@Dontor I hear ya. AP Gov quiz and AP Lit essays on Friday… and four rejections on Thursday. Whoop-de-doo.</p>

<p>I’m on spring break, but I have a major “thesis” paper for my independent study that is due on Monday… I’ve had more than two weeks to work on it and I’ve hardly come up with anything original… :/</p>

<p>I have work all day everyday pretty much. I’ll have to check on my phone!</p>

<p>Not at all LAM. </p>

<p>Everyone, I will open the Results thread tomorrow morning, please remember to post Results only as the purpose of the thread is to assist future applicants and the less clutter the more helpful it is.</p>

<p>Again, good luck to all, I’ve got my fingers crossed for all the future bulldogs!</p>

<p>I’m on Spring Break right now, and actually on a big trip touring schools on the east coast. I’ll be touring Dartmouth tomorrow and then in New Haven at night (I’ve already had an official tour of Yale). It’ll be a crazy day!</p>

<p>@LAmuniv — Yes, that’s exactly what you do. During SCEA, my laptop decided to partially freeze right as I clicked the login button. This mothered the 10 most nerve-wracking seconds of my life :)</p>

<p>@MikeNY5 Oh no! D: Haha well thanks for the help :)</p>

<p>@LAmuniv You waiting on Williams right now?</p>

<p>I only got two tommorow, Like many Yale and Brown. I think those are the two coolest ivy leagues B-) </p>

<p>@TrinidadJames22 yep, I’m not expecting much, though it is my top choice. Did you apply as well?</p>

<p>@LAMuniv</p>

<p>Yep, but it’s probably my last (of only 5) choices atm, Yale - NUS kinda winning my heart. Any idea what time they starting?</p>

<p>@TrinidadJames22 I wish I could have applied to NUS, but my parents wanted me to stay in Northeastern United States, so that took NUS off the table :stuck_out_tongue: Best of luck!</p>

<p>@LAMuniv I live alone, my parents are lucky I even notify them about this stuff!</p>

<p>But best of luck to you as well!, We need it /:slight_smile: </p>

<p>@TrinidadJames22 Oh and to respond to your question, they haven’t told us any times, but they said “evening,” and ED decisions were released at 5pm, so people are speculating that they will be released around then.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone, and may the odds be ever in your favor! And my DD can also join the “waitlisted at Chicago” party.</p>

<p>What’s the “waitlisted at Chicago party”? Are there a bunch of Yale hopefuls here who didn’t get into Chicago? My D got into Chicago EA, but prefers Yale. Fingers crossed.</p>

<p>DGDzDad, see pages 29-30 :slight_smile: .</p>

<p>Someone needs to make an index for this thread. I think we’ve just written a book.</p>

<p>24 hours and 15 minutes ._.</p>

<p>Last year Yale released result around 5pm. My kid wasn’t at home then, he filed to Rome for spring break! Me and my husband didn’t expect too much before clicking the link. Before that we checked UPenn and Cornell and didn’t get the results we’d hoped for. Days ago got wait-listed by UChicago, even UVa which was considered a match-to-safety. Finally clicked the link to Yale website, an animation bursted out with a big bulldog + congrats! That feeling was probably comparable to winning lottery, simply in disbelieve. Now the kid has been enjoying life at residential college at Yale, great school with a supportive community. I recalled my child got a very late interview in March, which seemed a good sign to me then.
Good luck tomorrow everyone!</p>
